About

Avid Nendoroid breeder. Back in Korea, we used to breed the top-quality Nendoroid by sacrificing the best-known resources, known as "the wallet". I still crossbreed them once in a while, just not as frequently as I used to anymore.

Account is shared with my spouse, so you may see some things that you feel out of place, though our taste is pretty similar in lot of cases;

FoolyDooly (5 months ago) #25623377I think I was missing one last year too. For me some of the fun is hoping I get something, and also seeing someone post my gifts. I should stop sending them out so late, though (I usually end up sending out AFTER Christmas >.>) I got some interesting item last year and I don't regret participating in SS.
If anything, do high tier that probably would have less chance of you getting grinched. I generally end up doing many poorfag tier just to gift out, and I do highest tier because I can afford to :3 (did 4 poorfag and 1 50 1 75 and 1 150+ think it was

Aw one year I had to send my presents out late because I was in the hospital and couldn't finish wrapping the presents (got them out to where they get them a day after X-mas), but it is true that opening your gifts on X-mas and posting is a collective group celebration and everyone's "feelin' it". I at least tried to draw something and post online for my recipients so they at least got a gift on X-mas. I try to get as much as I can before sending them out, so I'm normally like RIGHT on the deadline for UPS to ship to make it to X-mas.
I don't regret either, but eh, like I said. I normally do like one 25$ and one $50 and one $75 and I think that's the highest I've ever gone. I like shifting around the amounts to open up more options, and feel like it's a bad idea to drop it all on a like $100+ since normally the stuff I ask for is to support my keychain collection or small items. But the probability does seem more likely that the bracket doesn't grinch as much...
I'll probably ask to see the numbers from last year before and see to make my decision. In all honesty, I'd rather just contact all the people I've met through it and make cute things for them instead haha.

FoolyDooly (5 months ago) #25599203Can't wait for this year's SS.
Dunno if I wanna do it this year; I got grinched last year and while I had fun putting my recipients presents together, it seems like the connection I used to get from previous years just isn't there anymore for me. The beginning years I actually kind of made friends from it, but I didn't get any contact last year other than really simple thank yous. Did you have a good last year?
